How exactly does it encourage violence?

How does it encourage violance? Trayvon Martin died man!

Don't let the fact that Zimmerman didn't use such a defense confuse you as to the application of the law to the Trayvon case.

And quietly, hundreds of innocent minority teens die in urban cities each year from violence.

got dealt with. What I take from all this is if you don't want to die, don't attack someone.
